Quote by Samuel Johnson

You can never be wise unless you love reading.

You can never be wise unless you love reading.

Summary

This quote suggests that reading plays a vital role in acquiring wisdom. To be truly wise, one must have a love for reading and engage in it regularly. Reading exposes individuals to a wealth of knowledge, ideas, perspectives, and experiences shared by others through literature. By continuously immersing oneself in books, articles, or any form of written material, one can gain insights, broaden their understanding of the world, and develop critical thinking skills essential for acquiring wisdom. Without a love for reading, it becomes challenging to explore and absorb the wisdom that can be gleaned from the written word.
